About Clare Dudley

Originally from Portsmouth, Clare moved to the Cotswolds some 25 years ago. Clare spent over 15 years in the world of luxury hotels which stood her in good stead for running a 5 star holiday cottage. She has high standards and it shows!

Clare Dudley purchased this cottage in 1990

Why Clare Dudley chose Milton-under-Wychwood

High Ridge has been our family home for over 20 years. My two son's grew up here enjoying the uniquely friendly village that is Milton-Under-Wychwood. Two years ago we moved to a house in the next village & completely renovated High Ridge. I feel that the Cotswolds is one of the most beautiful places in the UK & wanted to offer a beautiful house for guests to come and enjoy the area.

What makes this cottage unique

I fell in love with the Wychwoods when driving through on my way to work. A friend told me that High Ridge was for sale but it was in a very sorry state with ivy climbing through the windows and water pouring through the roof.

But the house had a wonderful feel and when we moved in and lit the fire it came alive and felt like a real home! The low beams and cotswold stone walls create a very cosy feel. More recently we replaced the old extension and I dare you not to say WOW when you see the the new spacious luxury kitchen/dining area opening out into the garden! It's the kitchen I always dreamt of with an island and breakfast bar and bi-fold doors opening into the pretty garden!

Cozy Family Christmas

We were a combined family group from Australia / New Zealand looking for somewhere special to spend Christmas, and our stay was perfect! The accommodation was amazing, we were able to cook a wonderful Christmas dinner, the kids loved the accommodation and the garden, and we had the most wonderful time. We even had some snow on our final day!

Fantastic

Well looked after cottage with nice furniture and enough space for a big family or group of friends. We were 8 adults and we loved the refurbishment done in the kitchen-dining room area. The lounge with the chimney was lovely. We all agree will love to live there. Excellent location that allows you to visit the various villages around.

A very happy stay

The perfect home from home cottage to meet up with friends for a long weekend.

The house was pristine on arrival and very well equipped with comfy beds and snuggly pillows. A good nights sleep was had by all. The weather was fab for us so regrettably we never had the use of the inviting and cozy sitting rooms. We ate at The Lamb Inn in the next village which we would definately recommend both for value and quality.

We would love to return to Highridge.

Beautiful cottage in great location

High Ridge was an excellent stay for our group of 7 (5 adults, 2 children with age range of 2 to 90!). A beautifully renovated historic cottage - our children were fascinated by the exposed beams and steep staircases - providing very comfortable accommodation of 3 generous bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3 living areas and large modern kitchen/meals area opening onto patio and garden. All as advertised and pictured on your site. The house was very clean and well-maintained. It felt more like living in the owner's own house rather than a rental let. The owner left detailed information - copious notes on all appliances, as well as detailed recommendations for the local area which proved very useful. Swinbrook (lunch at The Swan is a must!), Blenheim Palace, Burford, Bibury, Hidcote Garden, etc. Milton-under-Wychwood, though not quite as picturesque as some Cotswold villages, is pretty and very central, with a great children's playground 5 minutes walk away and a fantastic Co-op that had everything! We had an excellent stay of 5 nights and would not hesitate to recommend High Ridge to friends or family.

Owner's Response: Many thanks for giving High Ridge such a glowing review. Delighted you love the house as much as we do!

High Ridge is located in the unspoilt and thriving village of Milton-under-Wychwood. The village is one of the best served in the Cotswolds with a small Co-op, delicatessen, post office, library and dentist. The large village green is an excellent area to play ball games, fly a kite or play in the children’s playground. All weather tennis courts also available.

The village pub, The Lamb Inn is less than 2 miles away and is a lovely walk across the fields. With a delightful patio for enjoying a summer's evening dinner al fresco or a roaring log fire for winter evenings. That's if you want to leave the cosy lounge at High Ridge with its own roaring log fire!

Burford, The gateway to the Cotswolds, is set on a hill just 5 minutes by car. A stunning village, it's High Street sloping from the high Wolds, where you have beautiful views over the open countryside, down to the willow fringed River Windrush in the pretty Windrush valley. A fine three arched medieval bridge crosses the river at the foot of the hill. A perfect place for afternoon tea and a spot of shopping.

TV's Adam Henson's Cotswold Farm Park is a favourite with our younger guests as is The Cotswold Wildlife Park & its ariel walkway to get eye to eye with the giraffes.

Walking is one of the most popular activities in this area. High Ridge has maps of popular walk available to guests.

The popular Golf courses of Burford or Lyneham are also just 5 minutes away. Lyneham welcomes non-members.
